Hop Butcher Beer DeJonghe (pack of 4) (47.3cl, 10.5%)

An imperial hazy IPA from Chicago, Illinois, brewed by Hop Butcher for the World. The grain bill uses oats and wheat for a soft, pillowy mouthfeel, while heavy late-addition and dry-hopping drive aromatic intensity without pushing perceived bitterness. At 10.5% ABV, the oat-heavy base and aggressive late-hopping keep tropical fruit character to the fore rather than alcohol heat. It is sold in a four-pack of 16-ounce cans. Aroma: ripe mango and papaya, tangerine zest, pine resin and a faint sweetness reminiscent of fresh-squeezed orange juice. Taste: plush and creamy, with guava, passion fruit and overripe peach, building mid-palate density from the oat-forward body, balanced by moderate resinous bitterness and gentle warmth. Finish: medium-long and softly bitter, with lingering mango skin and a whisper of pine.
